Description

La présente invention concerne une boíte, plus particulièrement une du type comportant un corps de section carrée ou rectangulaire comprenant un panneau avant et un panneau arrière reliés par deux panneaux latéraux, les panneaux avant et arrière et les panneaux latéraux étant réalisés par pliage d'un matériau en feuille, le corps de la boíte comportant au moins une ouverture et un dispositif de fermeture associé.The present invention relates to a box, more particularly one of the type comprising a body of square or rectangular section comprising a front panel and a rear panel connected by two side panels, the front and rear panels and the side panels being made by folding a sheet material, the body of the box comprising at least one opening and an associated closing device.

On connaít par le brevet européen EP-B1-0 318 750 une boíte dans laquelle le dispositif de fermeture comporte d'une part deux volets latéraux réalisés par pliage dans le prolongement chacun d'un panneau latéral, chaque volet latéral ayant un bord avant situé du côté du panneau longitudinal avant, et d'autre part un rabat comprenant une partie formant couvercle destiné à être rabattue sur les volets latéraux et réalisée par pliage dans le prolongement du panneau arrière. Ce rabat comporte en outre une languette réalisée par pliage dans le prolongement de la partie formant couvercle. Cette dernière présente ainsi une extrémité reliée au panneau arrière et une extrémité reliée à la languette. Lors de la fermeture, la languette est destinée à être insérée entre le panneau avant et le bord avant des volets latéraux.European patent EP-B1-0 318 750 discloses a box in which the closing device comprises on the one hand two lateral flaps produced by folding each extending from a side panel, each side flap having an edge front located on the side of the front longitudinal panel, and on the other hand a flap comprising a cover portion intended to be folded down on the side flaps and produced by folding in the extension of the rear panel. This flap further includes a tongue produced by folding in the extension of the part forming a cover. This the latter thus has one end connected to the rear panel and one end connected to the tongue. When closing, the tab is intended to be inserted between the front panel and the front edge of the side flaps.

Pour assurer une fermeture renforcée, une fente est réalisée au niveau de l'extrémité distale de la partie formant couvercle et les volets latéraux sont agencés pour se superposer avant la mise en place du rabat et comportent des dents destinées à s'engager dans la fente précitée lorsque le dispositif de fermeture est dans sa configuration de fermeture.To ensure a reinforced closure, a slit is made at the level of the distal end of the cover portion and the side flaps are arranged to overlap before the flap is put in place and have teeth intended to engage in the aforementioned slot when the closure device is in its closing configuration.

Un tel dispositif de fermeture renforcée n'est pas entièrement satisfaisant sur le plan esthétique du fait que la fente réalisée au niveau de l'extrémité distale de la partie formant couvercle reste apparente une fois la boíte fermée. Ainsi ce dispositif ne convient pas pour fermer l'ouverture supérieure de la boíte, car la fente serait aisément visible par le consommateur lors de la présentation en rayon.Such a reinforced closure device is not entirely satisfactory on the aesthetic level of the fact that the slit made at the distal end of the part forming a cover remains visible once the box is closed. So this device does not not suitable for closing the upper opening of the box, because the slot would be easily visible to the consumer during the presentation on the shelf.

De plus, cette fente est susceptible de créer des amorces de déchirure.In addition, this slot is likely to create tear primers.

Il existe donc un besoin pour disposer d'un dispositif de fermeture renforcé procurant à la boíte un aspect extérieur satisfaisant.There is therefore a need to have a reinforced closure device giving the box a satisfactory external appearance.

Un tel dispositif de fermeture renforcée doit rendre plus difficile l'ouverture de la boíte et empêcher par exemple qu'un consommateur puisse sans difficulté ouvrir la boíte, tester son contenu, puis refermer celle-ci. Such a reinforced closing device must make opening more difficult of the box and prevent for example that a consumer can easily open the box, test its content, then close it.

On connaít par ailleurs par le modèle d'utilité DE-U-29620217 une boíte comportant un corps comprenant un panneau avant et un panneau arrière reliés par deux panneaux latéraux, les panneaux latéraux et les panneaux avant et arrière étant réalisés par pliage d'un matériau en feuille, le corps de la boíte comportant au moins une ouverture et un dispositif de fermeture associé, ce dispositif de fermeture comportant deux volets latéraux réalisés chacun par pliage dans le prolongement d'un panneau latéral, chaque volet latéral ayant un bord avant situé du côté du panneau avant, le dispositif de fermeture comportant également un rabat formé dans le prolongement du panneau arrière, ce rabat comprenant une partie formant couvercle à rabattre sur les volets latéraux et une languette destinée à être insérée entre le panneau avant et le bord avant des volets latéraux lorsque le dispositif de fermeture est dans sa configuration de fermeture, la languette ayant une face intérieure située en regard du panneau arrière lorsque le dispositif de fermeture est dans sa configuration de fermeture, la languette comportant, du côté de sa face intérieure, au moins une surface formant butée propre à faire saillie sous les volets latéraux lorsque le dispositif de fermeture est dans sa configuration de fermeture.We also know by the utility model DE-U-29620217 a box comprising a body comprising a front panel and a rear panel connected by two side panels, the side panels and the front and rear panels being made by folding a sheet material, the body of the box comprising at least one opening and an associated closing device, this closing device comprising two side flaps each made by folding in the extension of a panel side, each side flap having a front edge located on the side of the front panel, the closure device also comprising a flap formed in the extension of the rear panel, this flap comprising a part forming a cover to be folded over the side flaps and a tab to be inserted between the front panel and the edge before the side flaps when the closing device is in its configuration of closure, the tab having an inner face located opposite the rear panel when the closing device is in its closing configuration, the tab comprising, on the side of its inner face, at least one surface forming a stop suitable for protrude under the side flaps when the closing device is in its closing configuration.

Il existe un besoin pour améliorer une boíte de ce type, notamment afin de faciliter son montage.There is a need to improve a box of this type, in particular in order to facilitate its assembly.

La boíte selon l'invention se caractérise par le fait que chaque volet latéral comporte sur son bord avant une découpure facilitant l'insertion de la languette entre le panneau avant et les volets latéraux.The box according to the invention is characterized in that each side flap has on its front edge a cutout facilitating the insertion of the tongue between the front panel and side flaps.

Grâce aux découpures réalisées sur les volets latéraux, ces derniers peuvent se déformer plus facilement, le cas échéant, ce qui rend plus aisée la mise en place de la languette.Thanks to the cutouts made on the side flaps, they can deform more easily, if necessary, which makes it easier to install the tongue.

Toujours de préférence, chaque découpure définit dans la région du volet latéral adjacente à son bord distal et à son bord avant une première patte sous laquelle la surface formant butée est propre à venir en appui.Always preferably, each cut defines in the region of the shutter lateral adjacent to its distal edge and to its front edge a first tab under which the surface forming stop is clean to come into abutment.

Chaque découpure définit également, de manière avantageuse, dans la région du volet latéral adjacente à son bord proximal et à son bord avant une deuxième patte sous laquelle la surface formant butée est propre à venir en appui.Each cut also advantageously defines in the side flap region adjacent to its proximal edge and to its front edge a second tab under which the surface forming an abutment is capable of coming to bear.

De préférence, la languette comporte au milieu de son bord distal une découpure définissant de part et d'autre de celle-ci des avancées propres à s'engager dans les intervalles formés par les découpures des volets latéraux avec le panneau avant.Preferably, the tongue has in the middle of its distal edge a cut-out defining on both sides of it advances capable of committing in the intervals formed by the cutouts in the side flaps with the front panel.

Ainsi la languette peut être partiellement engagée entre les volets latéraux et le panneau avant avant de les rencontrer, ce qui facilite sa mise en place.Thus the tongue can be partially engaged between the side flaps and the front panel before meeting them, which facilitates its installation.

Avantageusement, les volets latéraux sont indépendants du rabat, ce qui facilite le montage de la boíte par rapport à celle décrite dans le modèle d'utilité DE-U-29620217 dans laquelle les volets latéraux sont reliés chacun par une ligne de pliage au rabat, et doivent être pliés selon une diagonale lors du montage de la boíte.Advantageously, the side flaps are independent of the flap, which facilitates the assembly of the box compared to that described in the utility model DE-U-29620217 in which the side flaps are each connected by a fold line to the flap, and must be folded diagonally when mounting the box.

Avantageusement, les volets latéraux sont agencés pour se rabattre dans l'ouverture du corps de la boíte sans se superposer.Advantageously, the side flaps are arranged to fold down in opening the body of the box without overlapping.

Ainsi, la surface formant butée de la languette peut venir en appui de manière sensiblement uniforme sous les deux volets latéraux, alors qu'en cas de superposition des volets latéraux la surface formant butée viendrait davantage en appui sur l'un des volets latéraux, ce qui n'est pas souhaitable.Thus, the stop forming surface of the tongue can come to bear substantially uniform under the two side flaps, while in case of superposition of the side flaps the surface forming a stop would come to bear more on one of the side flaps, which is not desirable.

De plus, il est relativement inesthétique de faire se superposer les volets latéraux car cela peut rompre l'harmonie du conditionnement.In addition, it is relatively unsightly to overlap the shutters side as this can break the harmony of the conditioning.

De préférence, les bords distaux des volets latéraux sont sensiblement jointifs lorsque le dispositif de fermeture est dans sa configuration de fermeture.Preferably, the distal edges of the side flaps are substantially joined when the closing device is in its closing configuration.

De préférence, la surface formant butée de la languette s'étend sur sensiblement toute la largeur de celle-ci.Preferably, the abutment surface of the tongue extends over substantially the entire width thereof.

De préférence encore, la surface formant butée de la languette est située à proximité de l'extrémité distale de la partie formant couvercle.More preferably, the abutment surface of the tongue is located at near the distal end of the cover portion.

La surface formant butée vient ainsi en appui sous les volets latéraux à la fin de l'insertion de la languette entre le panneau avant et le bord avant des volets latéraux.The surface forming a stop thus comes to bear under the side flaps at the end inserting the tab between the front panel and the front edge of the side flaps.

Dans une réalisation particulière, la surface formant butée de la languette est constituée par une surépaisseur du rabat.In a particular embodiment, the abutment surface of the tongue is constituted by an extra thickness of the flap.

Le rabat peut présenter dans cette réalisation particulière, au niveau de la languette, une épaisseur double de celle au niveau de la partie formant couvercle.The flap may present in this particular embodiment, at the level of the tongue, a thickness double that at the level of the part forming a cover.

Dans une autre réalisation particulière, la surface formant butée est constituée par une partie repliée sur elle-même de la languette.In another particular embodiment, the abutment surface is constituted by a part folded back on itself of the tongue.

Avantageusement, le corps de la boíte comporte une deuxième ouverture, cette deuxième ouverture étant munie d'un dispositif de fermeture associé identique ou non au premier. Advantageously, the body of the box has a second opening, this second opening being provided with an identical associated closing device or no to the first.

La boíte est réalisée par découpage, pliage et collage d'une feuille de carton, éventuellement plastifiée, ayant de préférence moins de 2 mm d'épaisseur.The box is made by cutting, folding and gluing a sheet of cardboard, optionally plasticized, preferably less than 2 mm thick.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaítront à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre, d'exemples de mise en oeuvre non limitatifs de l'invention, et à l'examen du dessin annexé sur lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective d'une boíte conforme à l'invention,

La boíte 1 représentée sur les figures 1 et 3 comporte un corps 2 de forme allongée verticalement, de section transversale sensiblement carrée, comprenant un panneau longitudinal avant 3 et un panneau longitudinal arrière 4 reliés par deux panneaux latéraux 5 et 6.The box 1 shown in Figures 1 and 3 has a body 2 of shape vertically elongated, of substantially square cross section, comprising a front longitudinal panel 3 and a rear longitudinal panel 4 connected by two side panels 5 and 6.

Le corps 2 est réalisé par pliage et découpage, comme illustré sur la figure 2, d'un matériau en feuille, par exemple du carton, éventuellement plastifié et revêtu d'un décor extérieur.The body 2 is produced by folding and cutting, as illustrated in the figure 2, a sheet material, for example cardboard, optionally plasticized and coated an outdoor setting.

Une bande d'assemblage 7 est réalisée sur le côté du panneau avant 3.An assembly strip 7 is produced on the side of the front panel 3.

Cette bande d'assemblage 7 est collée au panneau latéral 5 pour former le corps 2, après pliage du matériau en feuille autour de lignes de pliage parallèles 10, 11 et 12 séparant respectivement le panneau arrière 4 du panneau latéral gauche 5, le panneau latéral droit 6 du panneau arrière 4 et le panneau avant 3 du panneau latéral 6. This assembly strip 7 is glued to the side panel 5 to form the body 2, after folding the sheet material around parallel fold lines 10, 11 and 12 respectively separating the rear panel 4 from the left side panel 5, the right side panel 6 of the rear panel 4 and front panel 3 of the side panel 6.

La bande d'assemblage 7 est reliée au panneau avant 3 par une ligne de pliage 13 parallèle aux lignes de pliage 10, 11 et 12 précitées.The assembly strip 7 is connected to the front panel 3 by a line of folding 13 parallel to the folding lines 10, 11 and 12 above.

Dans l'exemple représenté, le corps 2 de la boíte comporte une ouverture supérieure 15 et une ouverture inférieure, non apparente sur la figure 1, un dispositif de fermeture 20 étant associé à l'ouverture supérieure 15 et un dispositif de fermeture 30 étant associé à l'ouverture inférieure.In the example shown, the body 2 of the box has an opening upper 15 and a lower opening, not apparent in FIG. 1, a device for closure 20 being associated with the upper opening 15 and a closure device 30 being associated with the lower opening.

Le dispositif de fermeture 20 comporte deux volets latéraux 21 et 22 réalisés respectivement dans le prolongement supérieur des panneaux latéraux 5 et 6 et un rabat 23 réalisé dans le prolongement supérieur du panneau arrière 4, entre les volets latéraux 21 et 22.The closing device 20 comprises two lateral flaps 21 and 22 produced respectively in the upper extension of the side panels 5 and 6 and a flap 23 produced in the upper extension of the rear panel 4, between the side flaps 21 and 22.

Le dispositif de fermeture 30 comporte, de façon similaire, deux volets latéraux 31 et 32 respectivement formés dans le prolongement inférieur des panneaux latéraux 5 et 6 et un rabat 33 formé dans le prolongement inférieur du panneau arrière 4.The closure device 30 similarly comprises two flaps side 31 and 32 respectively formed in the lower extension of the panels side 5 and 6 and a flap 33 formed in the lower extension of the rear panel 4.

Chaque volet latéral 21 ou 22 comporte une extrémité proximale 25 par laquelle il est relié au panneau latéral associé, cette extrémité proximale coïncidant avec une ligne de pliage perpendiculaire sur la figure 2 aux lignes de pliage 10 à 13.Each lateral flap 21 or 22 has a proximal end 25 by which it is connected to the associated side panel, this proximal end coinciding with a fold line perpendicular in FIG. 2 to the fold lines 10 to 13.

Chaque volet latéral 21 ou 22 comporte également un bord distal 26 à l'opposé de l'extrémité proximale 25, un bord avant 27 reliant l'extrémité proximale 25 et le bord distal 26 du côté du panneau avant 3 lorsque le corps 2 de la boíte est assemblé, et un bord arrière 28 à l'opposé du bord avant 27.Each side flap 21 or 22 also has a distal edge 26 to opposite the proximal end 25, a front edge 27 connecting the proximal end 25 and the distal edge 26 on the side of the front panel 3 when the body 2 of the box is assembled, and a rear edge 28 opposite the front edge 27.

Chaque bord avant 27 présente dans sa région centrale une découpure 29 définissant dans la région de chaque volet latéral adjacente au bord avant 27 et à l'extrémité distale 26 une première patte 35 et dans la région adjacente à l'extrémité proximale 25 et au bord avant 27 une deuxième patte 36.Each front edge 27 has in its central region a cutout 29 defining in the region of each side flap adjacent to the front edge 27 and to the distal end 26 a first leg 35 and in the region adjacent to the end proximal 25 and at the front edge 27 a second tab 36.

Le rabat 23 comporte une partie formant couvercle 37 ayant une extrémité proximale 38 par laquelle elle est reliée au panneau arrière 4 et une extrémité distale 39 par laquelle elle est reliée à une languette 40.The flap 23 has a cover portion 37 having one end proximal 38 by which it is connected to the rear panel 4 and a distal end 39 by which it is connected to a tongue 40.

Les extrémités proximale 38 et distale 39 coïncident avec des lignes de pliage parallèles entre elles et perpendiculaires sur la figure 2 aux lignes de pliage 10 à 13.The proximal 38 and distal 39 ends coincide with lines of folding parallel to each other and perpendicular in Figure 2 to the fold lines 10 to 13.

Le rabat 33 du dispositif de fermeture 30 comporte également une partie formant couvercle 65 pourvue du côté opposé au panneau arrière 4 d'une languette 46. The flap 33 of the closing device 30 also includes a part forming a cover 65 provided on the side opposite to the rear panel 4 with a tongue 46.

Pour amener le dispositif de fermeture 20 dans sa configuration de fermeture, les volets latéraux 21 et 22 sont placés dans l'ouverture 15, comme illustré sur la figure 5, puis le rabat 23 est rabattu sur les volets latéraux 21 et 22.To bring the closing device 20 into its configuration of closure, the side flaps 21 and 22 are placed in the opening 15, as illustrated in FIG. 5, then the flap 23 is folded over the side flaps 21 and 22.

La languette 40 est insérée lorsque le rabat 23 est abaissé entre le bord avant 27 des volets latéraux 21 et 22 et le panneau avant 3.The tongue 40 is inserted when the flap 23 is lowered between the front edge 27 of the side flaps 21 and 22 and the front panel 3.

La languette 40 présente alors à l'intérieur de la boíte une face intérieure 45 faisant face au panneau arrière 4, et comporte, du côté de cette face intérieure 45, une surface formant butée 50, propre à prendre appui sous les volets latéraux 21 et 22 pour s'opposer à l'ouverture du rabat 23.The tongue 40 then has inside the box an inner face 45 facing the rear panel 4, and comprises, on the side of this inner face 45, a surface forming a stop 50, suitable for bearing under the side flaps 21 and 22 for oppose the opening of the flap 23.

Plus particulièrement, dans l'exemple décrit, la surface formant butée 50 est constituée par un décrochement formé par une surépaisseur du rabat 23 au niveau de la languette 40, surépaisseur qui peut être réalisée en collant une deuxième feuille sur une première feuille servant à réaliser le corps de la boíte.More particularly, in the example described, the abutment surface 50 is constituted by a recess formed by an extra thickness of the flap 23 at the level of the tongue 40, extra thickness which can be achieved by sticking a second sheet on a first sheet used to make the body of the box.

En variante, la surépaisseur peut être formée par pliage et collage sur elle-même d'une partie de la feuille servant à réaliser le corps de la boíte.Alternatively, the additional thickness can be formed by folding and gluing on itself of a part of the sheet used to make the body of the box.

Lorsque l'ouverture 15 est fermée, la surface formant butée 50 vient prendre appui sous les première pattes 35 et sous les deuxièmes pattes 36 des volets latéraux, comme illustré sur la figure 6.When the opening 15 is closed, the abutment surface 50 comes to take support under the first legs 35 and under the second legs 36 of the side flaps, as illustrated in figure 6.

La surface formant butée 50 s'oppose ainsi à l'ouverture de la boíte et il est nécessaire pour dégager le rabat 23 de forcer sur celui-ci pour déformer les premières pattes 35 et les deuxièmes pattes 36 afin de faire franchir à la languette 40 le bord avant 23 des volets latéraux 21 et 22.The surface forming a stop 50 thus opposes the opening of the box and it is necessary to release the flap 23 to force on it to deform the first tabs 35 and the second tabs 36 in order to cause the tongue 40 to cross the front edge 23 of the side flaps 21 and 22.

Le bord distal 55 de la languette 40 comporte avantageusement, comme représenté sur les figures, une découpure 56 dans sa région centrale, définissant de part et d'autre de celle-ci deux avancées 57 agencées pour s'engager dans les intervalles 58 formés par les découpures 29 des volets latéraux 21 et 22 avec le panneau avant 3, ce qui facilite la mise en place de la languette 40.The distal edge 55 of the tongue 40 advantageously comprises, as represented in the figures, a cutout 56 in its central region, defining on the one hand and on the other side thereof two projections 57 arranged to engage in the intervals 58 formed by the cutouts 29 of the side flaps 21 and 22 with the front panel 3, this which facilitates the positioning of the tongue 40.

Le bord arrière 28 des volets latéraux 21 et 22 est avantageusement découpé légèrement en retrait, comme représenté sur les figures.The rear edge 28 of the side flaps 21 and 22 is advantageously cut out slightly set back, as shown in the figures.

Lorsque le dispositif de fermeture 30 est dans sa configuration de fermeture, les volets latéraux 31 et 32 ont été repliés dans l'ouverture inférieure et le rabat 33 rabattu sur eux, la languette 46 étant engagée entre les volets latéraux 31 et 32 et le panneau avant 3.When the closing device 30 is in its closing configuration, the side flaps 31 and 32 have been folded back into the lower opening and the flap 33 folded over them, the tongue 46 being engaged between the side flaps 31 and 32 and the front panel 3.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit.Of course, the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment which has just been described.

On peut notamment réaliser la surface formant butée autrement qu'en assemblant deux épaisseurs de matériau en feuille.One can in particular realize the surface forming a stop other than joining two thicknesses of sheet material.

A titre d'exemple, on a représenté sur la figure 4 une languette 40' ayant, du côté de sa face intérieure, une surface formant butée 60 formée en repliant une partie 61 de la languette 40' sur elle-même, la surface formant butée 60 étant ainsi constituée par le bord libre de l'extrémité repliée 61.By way of example, FIG. 4 shows a tongue 40 ′ having, from the side of its inner face, a surface forming a stop 60 formed by folding a part 61 of the tongue 40 'on itself, the abutment surface 60 thus being constituted by the free edge of the folded end 61.

La surface formant butée 60 vient en appui, comme illustré sur la figure 7, sous les volets latéraux 21 et 22 lorsque la boíte est fermée.The surface forming a stop 60 comes to bear, as illustrated in FIG. 7, under the side flaps 21 and 22 when the box is closed.
